Frequently asked questions

Why would a tutor need professional liability or E&O insurance?

Because clients can allege that the instruction or academic guidance you provided caused a setback. Professional liability insurance and Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance are generally intended to respond to that kind of service-related claim. A licensed insurance professional can review your situation.

Do I also need general liability if I tutor in person?

Where you meet students face to face, general liability is generally intended to respond to third-party bodily injury or property damage. The right combination depends on how you work; a licensed insurance professional can help you confirm.
